Editing Western Governors University

[https://www.wgu.edu/ Western Governors University] has a number of [[Competency-Based Programs|competency-based degrees]] available. With a few small exceptions [https://www.wgu.edu/admissions.html (see "Will you admit students living outside the U.S.?")], WGU only admits students who are US residents. Regardless of this limitation, WGU is favored by many due to its balance of costs and ease of access. 

== Degree Structure ==
Unlike many other American universities, WGU has very few [[Gen Ed|gen ed]] requirements for its degrees. This can make it difficult, though not impossible, to transfer more than a handful of credits to WGU. Students with eligible credits may transfer up to 90 to the university towards a degree. For IT degrees, many industry certificates are accepted for credit.
